Daniel Farke believes the Canaries have identified a strong example of the modern goalkeeper in Angus Gunn.
'Angus is very highly-rated and a really talented goalkeeper,' the City head coach told the club's official website.
'He's brilliant with his feet as well as his hands and is tall too. We're happy to have him here for the next season and are thankful to Manchester City for helping us with this deal.
'I'm looking forward to working with such a great talent.'
Farke is well aware of the family connection.
'Of course, his father is a Norwich legend, and Angus himself is a Norwich guy,' he added.
'Our supporters will like that because it gives us a reminder of our history. It reminds us of our success from the past.
'That makes it really nice but it's especially important to judge him on his own talent.'
